Carey Mulligan has admitted she struggled to find time for herself while “entertaining children” locked up.
In the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the 35-year-old actress, who shares her five-year-old daughter Evelyn and three-year-old son Wilfred with her singing husband Marcus Mumford, 34, confessed that “no she could learn to knit, ”as she was preoccupied with motherhood duties.
The Skylight star also discussed taking advantage of the “funny” role of dropping out of medical school Cassie in her new film Promising Young Woman while posing in a fashion shoot that accompanied the publication.
“I couldn’t learn to knit!” Carey Mulligan has admitted he struggled to find time for her while “entertaining children” in a new interview
On how she’s been able to cope during the coronavirus pandemic, the thespian said, “I knitted things at the beginning of closing and I tried it once and I said,‘ I don’t have much time to knit.
I can’t do that. I can’t learn anything. I’ll just keep the kids entertained and then go to bed and do it again. “
The screen star detailed his initial thoughts on Emerald Fennell’s dark comedy thriller film, and how he spends months preparing for his critical actions.
The mother of two, Carey, who was not attending theater school, shared: when the script came to my agent, I didn’t know what to do with it. I thought, “Why would Emerald ask me to do this?”
“I’m just going to entertain the kids”: in the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the 35-year-old actress confessed that she was worried about motherhood throughout the pandemic

“I said,‘ Me, I just have to tell you, I love it so much, please do this. “And from then on it was a lot of fun.
“I didn’t go to theater school, it felt like a song, so I thought I had to do a lot of homework to be allowed to be here.
‘It makes me feel very aware of myself. I like being just an actor. I just like to introduce myself and do what I can do and then leave it at your disposal. “
“The reality of my life now is that I have two children under the age of five and I’m lucky if I can learn my lines and introduce myself.”
“It was very fun!” The Skylight star also discussed the role of school dropout Cassie in her new film Promising Young Woman (played in the film with Bo Burnham as Ryan).
Promising Young Woman, released in the UK later this month, plays with the idea that women are as violent, ruthless and full of rage as men.
The production has been described as “Thelma & Louise for the #MeToo Generation,” after the 1991 road movie that showed two women taking the law into their own hands after a sexual assault.
Coming soon: Read the full interview in the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar, published on February 3
Cassie, a 30-year-old who has dropped out of college prematurely, has a mission to avenge the rape of her best friend and subsequent suicide.
During the day, she has a job without a job in a cafeteria, but at night, in various bars and clubs, she shows that she is intoxicated by picking up men who see her as an easy target, before giving her justice.
Dressed in eccentric ensembles for her performance, the stage actress said, “I’ve probably never seen a dress like this in my personal life.”
The Star of Shame also expressed her thoughts on the evolving perception of women taking on more experimental roles in film and television.
Carey stated, “We finally understand that the audience wants to see stories about women that aren’t always always nice. You still root for them, you still care about them: it’s done brilliantly in Fleabag and brilliantly in I May Destroy You.
“Some of the things these two characters do are totally questionable and morally unpleasant, but you have 100% behind them.
“It’s very funny to see how people behave badly. I certainly didn’t hear any such activities during the first decade I was working. ”
The March issue of Harper’s Bazaar is on sale from February 3, 2021.
